We paint best when we lean on our nervous system.

Failure is a function of success. Without failure it is impossible to measure gain.

Art! Who can comprehend her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize truth.

YOU CAN'T SHAKE THE DEVIL'S HAND WITH YOUR FINGERS CROSSED

Painting: The art of protecting flat surfaces from the weather and exposing them to the critic.

Think more, paint less.

A trick isn't magic until it works.

William F. Reese

Painting is an attempt to come to terms with life. There are as many solutions as there are human beings.

Painting is silent poetry, and poetry is painting with the gift of speech.

Any mark left unmolested is lovely.

Cameras report, artists express.

On the plains of hesitation bleach the bones of countless millions who at the dawn of victory, sat down to rest, and resting, died.

The degree to which painting achieves success equals the emotional involvement of the artist.
